Afai e te alofa
se’i maliu maia oe
Fo’i mai ia ita
Ou te tagi atu nei
O taita nei
Ua fa’anoanoa
Fo’i mai pele ea
Fo’i mai
Fo’i mai pele ea
Fo’i mai
O’u tino e vaivai
Dear ea, i le fia va’ai
Ta fia tepa tasi,
darling, i ou foliga matalasi
Se tasi ua sili atu
Fa’agalo i lou manatu
Fo’i mai pele / dear ea
Fo’i mai
Fo’i mai pele ea
Fo’i mai
If you love me,
come back to me.
Return to me,
I cry out to you now.
My heart aches,
I am sorrowful.
Come back, my love,
Return to me.
Come back, my love,
Return to me.
My body grows weak,
Oh dear, longing to see you.
I just want one more glance,
darling, at your beautiful face.
That one who is higher (in your mind)
Forget him/her in your thoughts
Come back, my love,
Return to me.
Come back, my love,
Return to me.
Afai e te alofa: If you have love for me, please come back to me. Here’s a classic ballad of yearning and desire, of heartbreak and hope. A favorite of Samoan romantics.
Samoans love a medley. In this fun, casual rendition, Afai e te Alofa is strung together with another Five Star classic: Samoa Matalasi:

If you are in love
Won’t you please come back
Come back to me
I am pleading with thee
Of myself
I’m grieving
Come back my darling
Come back
I’m feeling weak
Dear in longing to see
Just one glance
Darling to your lovely face
The one who set your heart on
Abstract from your mind
Come back my darling
Come back

I’m Australian by birth, but Seychelles is my background. I have no Maori in me whatsoever, but love this music. This song sounds absolutely beautiful and I have no idea what they’re singing about lol. Is there an English version? It probably wouldn’t sound as nice in English, but I would love to know what each word means. I really like this song and these women have some of the most beautiful heavenly voices I’ve ever heard 🙂
Man I love this song
Can someone translate this in eng?
Check out this version from Pacific Soul. Simply the best!
